Be nice to your small business customers
Most buyers come to wholesale shows with prepared orders for their leading suppliers. Many times, our best clients come with their purchase orders filled with last season’s best sellers and are looking for new items to add to their lists. Please make sure your new handmade jewelry items are prominently displayed.Even the smallest minimum orders can become your best customers. Never underestimate the mom-and-pop shops; years ago, we had a lovely lady who would place a minimum order. After the show, she called and said she had overspent and needed to cut her order in half. We almost didn’t send the order. A week later, she re-ordered and continued to place small orders, then larger orders, and became one of our best customers.Handmade jewellery, Native American Earrings
You can set up your business as a reliable supplier.
Once you have established your business as a reliable supplier, your customers will repeat their orders. Until then, keep smiling, always be polite and try to find the best mix of handmade jewellery for your clients’ stores.Repeat customers are very important to you, as a small business owner, because they save you money and time. You have already spent the marketing expenses to find your customers, and you would not have to pay them again. So having as many repeat customers as possible will lower your marketing cost. Repeat business is always the least expensive and most profitable for your handmade jewellery business.Gorgeous handmade dainty Native American rings

Happy customers are repeat customers
If they ask for a little discount on their larger order, do not refuse them. Always make them happy with you and with your items. A happy customer is a repeat customer. They will never forget you because you made a good impression on them, and they will come back to you to order more. You are the most critical asset of your business. Your customers will remember first how nice you are to them and then your products.Copper Feather Earrings
Could you keep in touch with your customers?
Send them emails about your new additions and ask them how they are doing with your jewelry. Send thank-you notes after they make payments for their purchases or the new orders they placed. Make your customers feel important and make their shopping enjoyable. Listen to them and understand their needs. If necessary, create a new custom design for their market. They will sell better, and so you will too.
